A new movement has been launched in San Francisco, one aimed at removing open-air drug markets from city streets.
“Prioritizing ending the drug markets must happen. That is not a stated priority of our city leadership right now and that is the heart of the problem,” said Kanishka Chong, Together SF’s executive director.
The group presented its case, blaming the mayor and supervisors for failing to address the fentanyl fueled drug epidemic that’s devastating the city. Its solution: Harm reduction is not enough, law enforcement and recovery programs must also play a role.
